Well reports differ. Hard to find any confirmation that he attacked anyone. There's footage of police turning up and arresting him. Sounds likely that it's not much of an incident at all. Possibly the same with the Stamford Hill thing. Obviously with the heightened tension it's easy for some to get over-excited with rumours. Maybe there's more to it, but it seems unlikely.

From what I can see there were two incidents in the area, one in late afternoon/early evening - the photo in the JC seems to show a young black man waving a meat cleaver around shouting "Allah Allah! I'm going to kill you all!" and another shows a large crowd of armed youths being held back by a line of police.

See what you can find and post it up mate, the bbc are not reporting this stuff. Nothing on BBC about the bloke who attacked the copper at Paddington with a steel gate and tried to kill him whilst shouting "Alan's Snackbar etc", there's loads of it.

However the shoe-horn incident where nobody was injured made the bbc homepage.
